Payment Security

As e-commerce and mobile commerce continue to grow, the need for secure yet frictionless payment experiences has never been more critical. PSD2 3DS2 (3D Secure 2.0) represents a significant evolution in online payment authentication, balancing security requirements with customer convenience.

For merchants processing online payments, especially those serving European customers, understanding and implementing PSD2 3DS2 compliance is essential for continuing business operations and providing optimal customer experiences.

Decrease Fraud with PSD2 3DS2

PSD2 3DS2 (3D Secure 2.0) is the new authentication rule for online card payments. The 3D Secure 2.0 protocol allows merchants to improve their approval rates and decrease fraud, while providing a better experience for buyers, especially with the latest mobile platforms.

As buyers become more involved and the drive for frictionless payment improvements continues, merchants should take full advantage of 3D Secure 2.0. As e-commerce and m-commerce continue to grow, merchants should work to optimize buyer experiences without compromising security.

Understanding the EU PSD2 Directive

Presently an EU Directive, administered by the European Commission, is bringing 3D Secure 2.0 (PSD2) into full effect on 14 September, 2019. Organizations doing business with European buyers after 14 September 2019 must be compliant with PSD2 to continue processing online payments.

This regulatory requirement is not just about compliance. It's an opportunity to modernize your payment infrastructure and improve the overall customer experience while maintaining the highest security standards.
